(a)
The monthly charges as established by city council shall be made
for the collection and disposal of garbage or trash by the city.
(b)
Provided that, because of the extra cost of furnishing garbage collection
outside the city limits, the minimum monthly charges for garbage collection
outside the city limits shall be in the amount established by city
council.
(c)
The city secretary shall collect the above charges monthly either
through the water and sewer departments or as a separate item or by
any other practicable means of collection. In the event payment of
such service shall not be made, then all utility services that are
furnished by the city to the premises where such default occurs shall
be discontinued under the same conditions and penalties as would be
entailed by failure or refusal to pay for such other utility services,
and the city secretary shall not accept payment for such other utility
services (i.e., water and sewer) unless and until the charge for garbage
is paid. Provided that, in the event of residential hardship cases
of inability to pay the residential charge above provided, such inability
shall be referred to the city council for appropriate disposition
as the city council may direct.
